Oceanside accepting scholarship applications

Applications are available at high schools and Oceanside libraries. Any graduating high school senior who lives in Oceanside and will attend college is eligible. The scholarship does not have race, ethnic or gender criteria. Program administrators last year awarded $27,000 to 14 students from five high schools.

The submission deadline is April 18.

The scholarships come from community donations and do not use public funds. Scholarship recipients will have a chance to meet donors at the Scholarship Garden Reception on June 1.
